Display a WooCommerce Checkout Template only if Cart Contains a Category

Question

We have a WooCommerce Multi-step checkout. One checkout step is for insurance, but this insurance is only for the rental category.

Looking to only show the insurance step if a rental product is in the cart. Found a great article on Checking if the WooCommerce Cart Contains a Product Category but the code is not giving the desired result when we place our add_action snippet to load the checkout step:

Here is our add_action call for the custom template (

add_action('woocommerce_multistep_checkout_after_shipping', 'add_my_insurance_step_with_new_field');
        function add_my_insurance_step_with_new_field( $checkout ) {
                wc_get_template( 'checkout/insurance.php', array( 'checkout' => $checkout ) );
            }

And here is it placed within the code from SkyVerge:

// set our flag to be false until we find a product in that category
$cat_check = false;

// check each cart item for our category
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {

    $product = $cart_item['data'];

    // replace 'membership' with your category's slug
    if ( has_term( 'rentals', 'product_cat', $product->id ) ) {
        $cat_check = true;
        // break because we only need one "true" to matter here
        break;
    }
}

// if a product in the cart is in our category, do something
if ( $cat_check ) {
    // we have the category, do what we want
    add_action('woocommerce_multistep_checkout_after_shipping', 'add_my_insurance_step_with_new_field');
        function add_my_insurance_step_with_new_field( $checkout ) {
                wc_get_template( 'checkout/insurance.php', array( 'checkout' => $checkout ) );
            }
}

So very close! Not sure what could be going wrong.

This did the fix. Set $cat_check to false, run through each product in the cart, check if it has our category slug (rentals) in the cart, if true we break out and run the next if statement.

Which gets the template file and loads it before checkout order info (woocommerce_multistep_checkout_before_order_info).

function cclever_show_insurance_step_if_rentals() {
    if ( function_exists( 'wc_checkout_add_ons' ) ) {
        // set to false first
        $cat_check = false;

        // check each cart item for our category
        foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {

            $product = $cart_item['data'];

            // replace 'rentals' with your category's slug
            if ( has_term( 'rentals', 'product_cat', $product->id ) ) {
                $cat_check = true;
                // we only need one "true" to leave
                break;
            }
        }

        // if a product in the cart is in our category, remove the add-ons
        if ( $cat_check ) {

            add_action('woocommerce_multistep_checkout_before_order_info', 'cclever_add_insurance_custom_step');
            function cclever_add_insurance_custom_step( $checkout ) {
              wc_get_template( 'checkout/insurance.php', array( 'checkout' => $checkout ) );
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'cclever_show_insurance_step_if_rentals' );

Hope that helps someone out. ** or if there is anything wrong with my code, please let me know. Thanks!
